Brahm had another exciting weekend! Saturday, we took a long drive to see Heather, Justin, and Baby Rose! Rose was very nice to allow Brahm to play with her ball and read her books. Brahm had the best time eating cheese crackers and playing with Tahnee.
I took him away from Tahnee to take a picture with Rose..this was the result..
Poor kid, he needs his doggy fixes, when he can get them.
Heather made a delicious dinner for us, Baked Ziti, Meatballs, and Mixed Veggies, with a cookie for dessert, all of Brahm's favorites!
After we left Heather's we stopped by Jeremy's parents house to see Grandpop. Uncle Ben came home, so Brahm was able to see him, too. We then stopped by Grammy's work to see her! She was super glad to show Brahm off to her coworkers.
It was a late night, but lots of fun.
Sunday, Jeremy's parents came up for church and lunch. For dessert I made these Apple Dumplings from a recipe I got from a HungryGirl email. They were yummy and really easy!
Crazy-Delicious Apple Dumplings
PER SERVING (1/6th of recipe, 1 dumpling): 200 calories, 6.5g fat, 308mg sodium, 36g carbs, 2.5g fiber, 19g sugars, 2.5g protein -- PointsPlus® value 6*
Ingredients:
1 package refrigerated
Pillsbury Crescent Recipe Creations Seamless Dough Sheet (or
HG Alternative!)
6 small baking apples (preferably Fuji), peeled and cored
2 tbsp. sweetened dried cranberries
1/2 tbsp. brown sugar (not packed)
1/2 tbsp. light whipped butter or light buttery spread (like
Brummel & Brown)
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a deep 9" X 13" baking pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
Lay dough sheet on a dry surface with the shorter sides on the left and right. Cut horizontally into 2 evenly sized strips. Cut each strip vertically into 3 evenly sized pieces, for a total of 6 pieces. Gently and evenly stretch or roll out each piece of dough in order to yield slightly larger, square-like pieces.
Place one apple in the center of each piece of dough. Add 1 tsp. dried cranberries to the opening of each apple. Evenly distribute brown sugar and butter among the openings, about 1/4 tsp. of each per apple. Sprinkle apples with cinnamon and nutmeg.
One apple at a time, fold all four corners of the dough up around the apple, until they overlap at the top. Pinch the top and sides of the dough's edges together to seal around the apple. Place the dough-wrapped apples in the baking pan, evenly spaced.
Cover the pan with enough foil to secure at the sides without resting on top of the apples. Bake in the oven for 45 - 50 minutes, until dough is browned and apples are tender.
Allow to cool slightly, and then enjoy!

Today, Brahm decided to be a helper. He wiped down some walls:
And polished some brass:
And...a few hours later he had a tantrum that woke up Daddy, and got an early nap...welcome to the almost twos....
